B Corporations are invaluable because they create high-quality jobs and improve the quality of life in our communities. Already, there are more than 500 Certified B Corps from 60 industries across nearly 40 states. Georgia now boasts six Certified B Corps (Better World Books, Freeworld Media, Gray Ghost Ventures, if People, Solution Force and Womenetics) and is considering legislation to recognize the B Corporation as a distinct legal entity.
Jay Coen Gilbert (B Lab co-founder) and members of his leadership team will be visiting Atlanta on February 7th and 8th to discuss “The Promise of the B Corporation in Georgia”. As a part of this two-day event, we are assembling individuals from Atlanta’s impact investment community to discuss the implications of the B Corporation movement – across the U.S. and here in Georgia – for the field of impact investment. This roundtable discussion will feature Kevin Jones (Good Capital and SocialCapitalMarkets) and John Hardman (Gray Ghost Ventures) and will work to the following format:
This roundtable discussion will be held on Wednesday, February 8 from 2:30 to 4:00 in Room 500 of the Goizueta Business School at Emory University.
We believe that this will be an excellent opportunity for you to meet and build networks with similarly-oriented investors while learning more about this critically-important B Corporation movement. Please RSVP to Ellen Williams (ellen_williams@bus.emory.edu) to reserve your spot in what is sure to be a very interesting conversation.
The world is changing at a meteoric rate, says ING Direct CEO Arkadi Kuhlmann. No longer can organizations spend years developing new products, getting everything right the first time. Today’s leaders need to make quick decisions that maximize new possibilities as they arise. Look at ING Direct, Facebook, Apple and Google. Leaders must be both business people and artists, comfortable making innovative decisions in the face of ambiguity, and these new ways of operating must be embedded in the cultural DNA of their organizations.
Hear ING Direct CEO Arkadi Kuhlmann speak to how these leadership philosophies challenged the financial services world even as they served to drive ING Direct. Then join our conversation with Kuhlmann about how to meld culture and finance and take your work in the world to a new level.
